I have a kauger action that needs a barrel and I'd like to do a slow twist 6br for club matches, shooting out to 200 yard bench and 300 yard fclass. I'd be strictly using 68gr bullets. I was planning on going with a 13.5 twist, but this club shoots all throughout the winter months where it...

Got everything all all squared away, I took the pieces that I had turned, and it's extracting. I think I bumped those pieces of far back while trying to get it to chamber that they are just too short now. Final question however. After expanding, should I bump the shoulders or neck turn first...

So upon examination. I do feel a step on the cases. When I turn the neck of the case it is not there though. Then when I bump the shoulder to try to get the case to chamber that step appears. So I reset the depth on the mandrel on my PMA neck turner and took that step off and tried to chamber...

Got a new 30br barrel spun up on a panda action .330 neck. My other 30br I have is a .332 neck. I turned some necks today and tried to chamber a case and couldn't get the bolt to close without coaxing it. I bumped the shoulder as far back as I could with the guts out of the die I have for my...

That's what looking for. Still looking for Beggs number but, gathering slot of good info already!

Alright,I'll search for his number. Worst he can do is hang up on me, haha!

I mean the 220 beggs basically is the 220 Russian, just less trimming due to the shoulder radius isn't it? If I can trim less, I'd pay more. Haha

I've been shooting benchrest for about a year now with my 30BR, and I love it. (competing with myself.) I was going to have a 222 rem built, but in my research of that cartridge I stumbled upon the 220 Beggs, and it really interested me. What intrigued me is the ease of brass prep and accuracy...

Found a guy on accurate shooter who said he will clear coat it for $300. I asked what the process was or if I need to do any work to it beforehand. He said this. "I do 3 coats let it cure then do 3 more coats. And it’s usually good. But you can send me some pictures of it and I can usually...

Well that's a lot to consider. I know of a guy on accurate shooter who does em for like $600, and they say he's the best, but I'm not ready to drop that kind of money on a clear coat. Plus the cost of shipping to the other side of the country. I may just do an oil finish, which I really like the...

Good point. I'm not too concerned with these stocks. They'd be for local club matches.

That was a thought I had, but does it matter what clear coat they use? I just want to make sure it slides in the bags well. Thanks!

Does anyone have any suggestions on someone to clear coat a stock or two? I've got two Dima's id like done up. Nothing fancy just clear. Also, what would you consider a reasonable price for such work? Thanks!

Good to know Al! Thank you.

It's coned. That's one thing I wanted. Not sure of what difference it would make though?
